Fun Factory Bendy Beads

The Fun Factory Bendy Beads is an anal toy made from
silicone. The beads are slightly larger than some I’ve tried, and there’s less
of a gap between each bead. The beads also have a slight texture; one side of
each bead is slightly raised. Given the larger than average size, I wanted to
see if the shape of the toy, specifically the elliptical beads, would make it
easier to insert. I also wanted to see how well the beads stayed in place once
fully inserted.

The beads arrive in the standard Fun Factory packaging with
a cut out window at the front revealing the product, and two flaps that are
held shut with magnets at the back, which reveal another window for viewing the
product. The toy states it is elliptically shaped, which basically means the
beads are egg shaped rather than traditional spherical balls. The packaging
also states that the product is scent free, and this does indeed seem to be the
case.

The toy is 10.5 inches in length with 8 inches of insertable
length. At the base of the beads you will find a looped handle which you can
thread one or two fingers through easily. The shaft consists of five beads, the
first being an inch in length and the last being 1.5 inches in length. The
beads’ circumferences are as follows:2.51 inches, 3 inches, 3.26 inches, 3.75 inches, and 4.25 inches. Each
bead has a raised piece of silicone curving and linking onto the next bead; there
is no connecting string in the traditional sense. The toy has a fair amount of
flexibility between each bead, but the silicone itself is only slightly plushy.
When first inspecting the toy there were a few messy silicone tags around the
manufacturing seam – these were easily removed. Other than that the toy seems
seamless. The silicone causes quite a bit of friction when rubbed against dry
skin – I definitely recommend using a liberal amount of water based lubricant.

When using the toy I applied a good amount of lubricant to
my body and the toy. The first bead easily popped into place, and the second
bead also took very little effort. When inserting the third to fifth beads I
thought I would experience some problems, but because of how the beads are
joined with minimal gap between the next size up, I experienced very little trouble.
I found the beads offered less of a popping sensation when compared to others
I’ve tried, but inserting the toy felt comfortable and pleasurable. However, I
found that the beads didn’t want to stay in position once inserted, and the
shaft was just a little too bendy to use the toy as an anal probe. I feel that
if the stem between the looped handle and last bead was slightly longer and
maybe a bit less curved, then my pelvic floor muscles would’ve been able to
grip onto the toy better.

The anal beads are very easy to clean as they are made out
of silicone. You will need to pay a little extra attention to the raised area
and the gaps between each bead, but the textures don’t trap too much dirt. The
silicone can be boiled, sterilised, placed into the dish washer, and washed
with your standard antibacterial wash and water.

Overall, these beads didn’t seem to work for my body,
however, I still think they are a good toy and probably will work for others.
The shape of the beads makes them easier to insert when compared to circular
balls found on most other anal beads, and although I couldn’t get them to stay
in position, they were pleasurable while inserting. They are also an excellent
price for a body safe silicone anal toy.

Theank you to Nice 'n' Naughty for sending these anal beads for me to review. You can purchase them Here.
